E444xAU Options H20, H25 and H70 E444xAU IF Output Options
Introduction
Introduction
This manual incorporates the installation of the following similar instrument models
E4440A, E4443A, E4445A, E4446A, E4448A with Option H20, H25 or H70.
Only one of the options can be installed per instrument due to the 321.4 MHz IF being
required as the input. When the Option IF Output is installed with Option H7L or HNQ,
the 321.4 MHz IF Output must be jumpered (8120-5066) to the H7L IN, HNQ IN, or
Option IF IN (H20 IN, H25 IN or H70 IN) for any one of the options to function properly.
Description
The Agilent model numbers E4440AU, E4443AU, E4445AU, E4446AU and E4448AU are
refered to as the E444xAU through out this document. Options H20, H25, and H70 are
referred to as the Option IF Output.
The E444xAU Option IF Output is a retrofit kit that provides the components necessary to
install a down converted IF Output connector to the rear panel of the PSA Performance
Spectrum Analyzer. The Option IF Output can be installed with Options H7L and HNQ.
